being and pretending to be christian

[historian]

I am a devout atheist but i admire Jesus for what he said. However, isnt it ironic that the last true christian was a hindu? Gandhi revered Jesus and, perhaps unconsciously, lived the way he had preached. He was poor yet content, did not waste, was tolerant and compassionate and non violent.
How many of our so called "christian" leaders can claim the same?

1. None

There is alot of suffering involved with being a true Christian. It involves feeling others hurts. Our so-called Christian "leaders" are so far removed from this type of situation that they can't even begin to know.

Everyone wants to go to heaven but noone wants to die.

2. Well said

Either they are dillusional, or they just use religion as a tactic to herd the sheep.
